Picturing Nature: Recent Works of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators, Northern California Chapter, opens next Friday, Nov. 7, 2008 (one week from today) at the Thomas Theatre Gallery at Hutchins Street Square in Lodi, California. I am excited to have two paintings in this show! Here are photos of the framed pieces:
Toyon, acrylic and colored pencil, 300# HP WC paper
Sorry about the glare from the flash, but I wanted to show you what they look like framed. I think they look pretty good! You can also see the calla on my website (I haven’t uploaded the toyon yet).
Yellow Calla, acrylic and graphite, Arches 300# HP WC paper
Eleven artists are showing work in this exhibit, and the subject matter includes botanicals, birds, mammals, insects, and molluscs. The reception is on Nov. 7, from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm, and features live music, wine tasting from local vineyards, and appetizers.
Our reception coincides with the first night of the Sandhill Crane Festival, which is being held at the same location as our exhibit. The festival also features a fine art exhibit (reception also on Nov 7), with sandhill cranes as the central theme (I think they also allowed habitat and other animals associated with cranes as subject matter).
Wait, there’s more! Nov. 7 is also the First Friday Art Hop in Lodi, where galleries and other art-venues stay open until 8:30 pm to show off the work of local artists.
We’re going to have alot of fun, so if you’re in the Lodi area on Nov. 7, please drop by and say hi!
Coming soon: Keeping it in Perspective, Part II.
